I saw you on the TV back in fifty two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh a oh

They took the credit for the rivalry you see
Rewritten by Teddy and 'Knuckles' Neil Kerley
And now I understand the problems you can see
Oh a oh

I met your children
Oh a oh

What did you tell them?
AFL killed the State of Origin star
AFL killed the State of Origin star

Eagles came and broke your heart
Oh, a, a, a, oh

And now we meet in an abandoned stadium
We hear the playback but it's in our cranium
And you remember "We stuck it right up 'em"
Oh-a oh

You were the first one
Oh-a oh

You were the last one

AFL killed the State of Origin star
AFL killed the State of Origin star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh

AFL killed the State of Origin star
AFL killed the State of Origin star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far
Eagles came and broke your heart
Put down the blame on AFLSR

Oh, you are a State of Origin star
You are a State of Origin
AFL killed the State of Origin star
AFL killed the State of Origin star
AFL killed the State of Origin star
AFL killed the State of Origin star

AFL killed the State of Origin star
AFL killed the State of Origin star
AFL killed the State of Origin star
AFL killed the State of Origin star
